Default FUnny NOises???

So here's the deal. My car for some reason is makin funny noises. The first noise I hear is a real sharp sound coming from the rear right side of the car. It only seems to make the sound when I'm taking a right and go over a bump...... Sounds like the brake warning scratch (when the brakes are gettin low) but it only happens when i go right and over a bump. haha. So I guess no more right turns for this guy. ANd the other sound is just the suspension. It's got a real stiff shock sound to it. Like creaking and stuff if that makes any sense. I mean it's not way loud but if I turn off the radio and stuff I can hear it. I guess I dont think it used to do it. But hey maybe I wasn't paying attention. Has anybody got a clue what i'm talking about? Had this problem before? Sound like u may know what it is? lemme know Thanks

the creaking is the control arms. grease them up and it might take care of them or else you'll have to replace them. no idea about the other sound though but it could be the strut. go to that side of the car and shake the car by grabbing the fender.

Haha yeah that was the first thing I did when I got home was shake it back and fourth. Couldn't hear anything tho. And what's more likely to be the situation with the control arms??? Needing grease or being replaced? ANd if needing to be replaced how much u think that's guna run me? I know I can look it up on the net, But I figued seeing as we're already on the subject. Two birds one stone right?
